Description of problem:

Perl script using SDBM_File module is core dumping. Seems to match this upstream bug:  https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=61912#txn-515026

[...]

Steps to Reproduce:

Create reproducer test script sdbm_test.pl containing the following lines, as described in the upstream bug report:

	#!/usr/bin/perl
	
	use strict;
	use Fcntl;
	use SDBM_File;
	use threads;
	use threads::shared;
	
	my %dbtest;
	tie(%dbtest, 'SDBM_File', "test.db", O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);
	
	for (1 .. 2)
	{
	        my $thr = threads->new(\&testThread, $_);
	        $thr->detach();
	}
	sleep 4;
	
	sub testThread
	{
	        my $n = shift;
	        print "thread #" . $n . " started\n";
	}

Make script executable and run which produces the following output:

	[root@util6vm ~]# chmod u+x sdbm_test.pl 
	[root@util6vm ~]# ./sdbm_test.pl 

Expected results:

No errors.

Actual results:

	thread #1 started
	thread #2 started
	*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/perl: double free or corruption (out): 0x0000000000e2c2c0 ***
	======= Backtrace: =========
	/lib64/libc.so.6[0x3d2ca76166]
	/lib64/libc.so.6[0x3d2ca78c93]
	/usr/lib64/perl5/auto/SDBM_File/SDBM_File.so(XS_SDBM_File_DESTROY+0xc0)[0x7f9d58fb06f0]

This happens with any perl, even the development version.

RHEL-7 (perl-5.16.3-283.el7) is affected.
